Canada Says Will Not Join Solo U.S. Attack on Iraq Canada toughened its line on the Iraq

OTTAWA (Reuters) ^

[ruready4eternity]

In OTTAWA story, "Canada says will not join solo U.S. attack on Iraq", please read in the final paragraph "... last week Ottawa announced it would be sending up to 2,000 troops for a year to take part in a U.N. peacekeeping mission based in Kabul." Corrects to Kabul from Baghdad.

Let us do the right thing for the moment and concentrate on building up our armed forces for the future, North Korea still must be dealt with.

From one old bull to another, a small suggestion, get rid of that heifer Cretien because until you do, Canada's proud tradition of fielding an effective and tough fighting force is a pipedream.

Don't fly off the handle. I heard you message about Conservatism in Canada LOUD and CLEAR the other night and will not forget it. We need you to keep up the fight, just as you need us to do the same. FReegards!

Trust me, that process is underway.

Canada Says Will Not Join Solo U.S. Attack on Iraq

Uhh, don't you have to have something to give in order to take part and contribute? Canada has nothing, so why should we expect them to contribute? Nice of them to say they won't contribute, but they don't have anything to give anyway. Much the same with France and Germany.

[jwalsh07]

I trust you since you've never given me reason not to. Good luck and good hunting!

[albertabound]

Thanks for the support pal, I will crack a Molsen's and chill out.

From many of the posts here and on other threads I get the feeling that Afghanistan is now regarded as little more than a footnote . It appears none believe that history ignored repeats itself. I would gladly see the RCR and Van Doos going to Iraq. A soldier's fight. Afghanistan is another matter.

I'll finish my Sleeman's Steam Lager , and like you , walk over. :)!

Canada, France..What's the difference?

[Beck_isright]

You are forgiven in my book. It's too bad the rest of the socialist-marxist kooks in Ontario and Queerbec will not get voted out. It's a shame as I love your nation and hate to see it turn into the French version of "Mexico North" of our border.

" Oh dear, whatever will we do now, without Canada's tank?"

They have a tank now????????????????

[mathurine]

You have hit the nail right on the head. Anyone who doesn't come to the main event will not be a party in the afterevents. Why should Canada, France, Belgium, or any other country that speaks French have a say in world events anyway? They could have adopted a more sophisticated language long ago which might have allowed their cognitive processes to be better organized. Now as for the Germans, why they persist in talking funny is a paradox. They too could have been speaking English long ago if they were not so stubborn, and thus maybe think in English, too. A mind is a terrible thing to waste, Frogs and Spraetzels! Back off from efforts at thinking for yourselves; it appears to be a little much for you. Learn English and you will automatically begin to think more logically. In a few centuries, you, too, might count for something in the world.

"You could start by not buying our oil, natural gas and hydro power and we will not be sending you anymore Moosehead Ale, so there.Freezing off your ass in the dark without a good beer to suck on will make you unhappy I think."

Wrongo. You sell more oil to Japan than us (sort of warped since we sell 75% of our Alaskan reserves to the Far East too), your beer is good but the Czech stuff is better, and believe it or not more of our population is moving out of the areas of the U.S. where you can go "freezing off your ass" and into the southern states where we don't care what anyone, anywhere thinks. Hell, as far as us dumb redneck southuners are korncerned, we should fence off and mine both borders to keep out the riff-raff. Hell ya, the SOUTH shall rise again! (Without those damn loonies I get from the local McDonald's when I go there for lunch and get in my change on occassion I hope too)

Not if the French and Germans get it first.

[albertabound]

Dream on.

Canada is working on building up armed forces in time to help with North Korea? What a huge joke. Just give it a rest.

Everyone in Canada knows that America is the country that is willing to spend and spend to defend countries that don't even have the spine to be good cheerleaders. Come on now, Give us an A, Give us an M, give us an E...

Or, would you prefer to continue to spit on your neighbor-defenders?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Dear Canada;

I spit on your money!

It's the only way a Candian quarter will work in an American Coke machine. ( Not that i've ever tried it myself )

"North Korea still must be dealt with."

North Korea has been dealt with in one quiet warning:

One sub with Tridents, 24 empty tubes, one smoking pos nation north of the 38th Parallel and South of the Yalu.
They have the message, this bravado from the little runt in charge is all posturing for the UN p*ss**s that Canada, France and Germany support. China will not interefere with us because they can not afford to lose their largest client and neither can the USSR, er ooops, Russia. The whacko in North Korea must have a suicide pact with the devil if he doesn't think we'd waste his little nation if he nuked any of our troops or allies. That matter is being dealt with and has been. Iraq and Iran are a bigger threat. They must be eliminated, not contained. Containment didn't work in North Korea, North Vietnam or the African campaigns of the 70's (thank you James Earl Puscarter). Now we have to clean up the mess made by the children of the last administration. So get out of our way, shut up, and watch all the cool latest weaponry spell out our current foreign policy. The League of Nations, er, UN, certainly failed. Nothing else needs to be said. When Canada grows up again and takes responsibility for the events in their own nation and the world, then they can be an active participant in "advising" us what to do. Until then your 50,000 man army can continue to give us a battalion of snipers here and there or train with the Eskimos or whatever is the hell they do.

Thanks for your comments. I read your bio and know where you are coming from. You are absolutely right. The only thing that can save Canada or the United States is a return to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Years and years of atheism has left Europe in the shape they are in.
My Personal opinion of Canada is that it is one of the most beautiful countries on earth. Most of cCanada(especially the western provinces) have some of the nicest, conservative people on earth. The eastern domination by liberals and french really skew the country to the left.
